This Lake Lanier waterfront residence at 5984 Dolvin Lane in Buford, GA is offered at $697,999 (MLS 10882664) and provides a rare combination of more than 100 feet of waterfront, gradual shoreline access, and a natural sandy beach. Situated in the Valley Hi neighborhood on a level 0.39-acre parcel, the property invites relaxed lakeside living with practical features for boating and outdoor gear storage, plus potential dock permit eligibility subject to Corps approval.
The home delivers nearly 4,000 square feet of finished living area (3,971 sq ft) in a comfortable Craftsman package built in 1982. A long secondary driveway creates convenient room for boat and trailer parking and could be expanded to accommodate an RV or additional equipment. The lot's low slope to the water makes everyday access and shoreline recreation easier than many other Lake Lanier offerings.
Inside, the layout includes 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms with 0 half baths recorded. Vaulted and beamed ceilings, abundant windows, and a mix of hardwood and tile flooring create a bright, warm atmosphere across multiple entertaining zones. The chef-caliber kitchen features stone counters, an oversized island with breakfast bar, dual sinks, and a built-in wine cooler—well suited for hosting after a day on the water.
Living areas are versatile and generous: formal dining, a great room anchored by the vaulted ceiling, a formal living space, and a sunroom/flex area provide room for both daily family life and larger gatherings. The primary suite functions as a private retreat with a separate sitting area, two walk-in closets, and a spa-style bath that includes double vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower.
Outdoor amenities emphasize lakeside enjoyment with a welcoming front porch and a back deck for grilling, stargazing, or watching sunrise paddles launch from your own shoreline. Proximity to local marinas such as Lazy Days, Holiday Marina, and Safe Harbor options makes maintaining a boat simple, and popular lake attractions including Fish Tales and Margaritaville at Lanier Islands are just a short drive away.
For daily convenience, the property sits minutes from GA-400, I-985, I-85, and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, providing straightforward commutes while preserving a private, tucked-away setting on the water. This residence is located in Gwinnett County and is served by Lanier High School, Lanier Middle School, and White Oak Elementary School. Annual property taxes are listed at $8,353.30.
